Subject: [PATCH] x86: UV BAU destination subnode id

From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@....com>

The SGI UV Broadcast Assist Unit is used to send TLB shootdown messages
to remote nodes of the system.  The header of the message must contain
the subnode id of the block in the receiving hub that handles such
messages.  It should always be 0x10, the id of the "LB" block.

It had previously been documented as a "must be zero" field.

Diffed against 2.6.31-rc6
